Jesus' Temptation

Neal Morse

6. JESUS' TEMPTATION

(Jesus is led into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil)

JESUS:
The spirit led me here
Straight away to this wilderness
God has made it clear
This is I where I must face my test

And I have had no food
For forty days I have had no bread
And in this solitude
I am hungry but being fed
Living by what God said
But still there's this feeling of dread
Like there's someone in my head.

THE DEVIL:
I'm the watcher of the red skies
And the thunder that rolls
I'm the darker side of midnight
I'll devour you whole
Jesus I've come for your soul!

If you truly are Messiah
Turn these stones into bread

JESUS:
You are Satan you're a liar
I believe what God said
You're only king of the dead

THE DEVIL:
If you are the Son
If you are the Word
Cast yourself down
You will not be hurt
Surely the Son has all authority

All of the seas
And all of the shores
All that ya see
It all could be yours
If you will just bow down and worship me
Bow down and worship me!

JESUS:
It is written in the book
You shall not tempt your God
And I don't believe a word you say
You're a fake and a fraud

I only serve the one true God
And He's the one who sent me
As Adam failed I will succeed
And nothing here can tempt me
Nothing here can tempt me!

THE DEVIL:
Lies, lies everyone lies to me!
See how everyone tries to be safe
But they'll never escape from my snare

You can't sever your ties to me
You will fall and your fall will be great
Just turn to me it's never too late

JESUS:
I am God's only Son
A new day has now begun
I'm sending you on the run!

THE DEVIL:
I'm the watcher of the red skies
The Father of crime
You've eluded me this time
But the masses are mine
I'll battle you for all time

All of the sea and all of the shores
All that ya see it still could be yours
If you'll just bow down and worship me

And I will be there when you come to save
Sending sad souls to the spiritual grave
Now that the world of men belongs to me

JESUS:
Satan be gone
I know I am the Son
I will worship my God
And no other shall harm me

I'll deliver all men
Bring freedom again
I will cause them to live
And you will not prevent me

You're the Father of lies
You bring death and not life
I will bring them to life

Satan be gone
